Verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, our screening shows: Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot APT passes our gates.
Our framework uses an AAOIFI-aligned methodology, with Saudi Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta and Al Rajhi Bank Shariah Board guidance.
Gate-by-gate analysis
Riba (interest)
PassSpot APT has no embedded interest. Native staking not used by bot.
Gharar (uncertainty)
PassAsset specifications, supply schedule, and on-chain settlement are publicly verifiable. Spot ownership transfers cleanly with no embedded contingent payoffs.
Maysir (gambling)
PassSpot purchase is direct ownership of a defined asset, not a wager. Our bot never places leverage, futures, perpetuals, options, or margin trades — eliminating the maysir vector at execution.
Haram-sector exposure
PassAPT protocol revenue is fees. Ecosystem still developing; base asset platform-neutral.
Liquidity
PassAPT clears Conservative, Moderate, and Multi-X gates.
Final verdict
Per AAOIFI-aligned framework, spot APT passes our gates.
Caveats and notes
- Newer chain — periodic re-screening.
- Staking yield not used.
